Hey You
Embracing Change: A Musical Journey Through Life
Lyrics
Hey you, you say you want to change the world
Expressing a desire to make a positive impact on the world.
It's alright, with me there's no regret
Assuring that there are no regrets about the decision to change the world.
It's my turn, the circle game has brought me here
Acknowledging one's turn in the cycle of life and the journey to this point.
And I won't let down 'til every song is set
Determined to persist until every goal or song is accomplished.
You realize now
Realizing a missed opportunity or not attempting something.
You should have tried now, ooh
Expressing a sense of should-have-tried realization.
The music's gone now
Indicating a loss or absence of something significant, possibly referring to music.
You lost it somehow
Highlighting the realization of losing something important.
Hey you, sha-la-la-la
Repetition of "sha-la-la-la" and "whoo" for musical emphasis or emotional expression.
Hey you, sha-la-la-la
-Whoo, sha-la-la-la
-Whoo, sha-la-la-la
-Hey you, you say the race is much too fast
Acknowledging the fast pace of life or challenges.
It's okay, with me I'm keeping pace
Comfort with maintaining one's own pace in the race of life.
It's my game, the music is inside my head
Identifying music as a personal and internal aspect of the individual.
For every one on top there's one who can't replace
Recognition of the competitive nature where not everyone can be on top.
You realize now
Reiteration of missed opportunities or unexplored possibilities.
You should have tried now, ooh,ooh
Re-emphasizing the idea of having tried and missed an opportunity.
The music's gone now, you'll find out
Confirmation of the loss of music or something significant.
You lost it somehow
-Hey you, sha-la-la-la
Repetition of "sha-la-la-la" and "whoo" for musical expression.
